Electric Lights at Last.

A conclave of our citizens, consisting of
town commissioners, members of the cham
Der of commerce, and prominent business
men, assembled in the hall of the chamber
of commerce on Tuesday night for the pur-
pose of discussing and acting upon the adop-
ton of electric lights to illuminate the city.
Mr.. T. j. Brown was requested to act as
chairman, and Mr.. J. D. Paylor secretary
Mayor Wilson stated the object of the meet
ing, and talks were made by Judge Star
buck, Messrs. Hanes and Wood, all favoring
immediate action in the matter, but prescrib-
ing caution and judgment.
Mr.. Wright, on behalf of the Brush Elec-
trio Light Co., was heard from, giving all
the information the assembly desir-
ed, after which vote was taken, resulting
in unanimous adoption of the system
Thus step has been taken upon which the
town is to be congratulated. No want has
been more obtrusively felt for the past few
months than that of good lights for our
streets, and the present perfection of the
electric light system, taken together with
the expense which has been reduced to
minimum, place it beyond all comparison
with any other method of illumination.

A GOOD SUGGESTION,

An Enterprise that Would be Business
and q Domestic Benefit,
Special Correspondence of The Sentinel.
Mr.. Winston, with its numer-
GUS tobacco factories and business men of
untiring energy and zeal, lacks one enter
prise, and that one only, since the Railroad
is an assured fact, is necessary. to MAJ
Winston the "city of the South" As has
been proven by long and continued trial by
our sister towns all over the State, q build
ing and loan association is one Of the great.
est institutions in vogue, for promoting the
success and well being of community.
One Of tbs. first and foremost of the many
good reasons why such step should be
taken, is the inostimable advantage which
our young men would receive. Induce them
J to join, pay IS cents per week on each share
they hold, and SO much would be laid
up" for a rainy day. And the building and
loan is so constituted that members can
withdraw at any time, and sscurs the full
| amount they may have paid into the treas
| ury while a member. As result of the
good which the building and loan has ac-
| complished for Salisbury, having been
| established there two years, we clip the fol-
| lowing from the Salisbury Watchman of
February oath The buying and selling of
real estate within and adjacent to the corp
crate limits is unprecedented in the history
of Salisbury. What was regarded as the
fields two and three years ago, has been laid
off regularly into squares, streets located and
lots offered for sale, and are selling readily
Salisbury would be true of any other town
in the State.
| The B. & L. offers equal advantages to the
merchant, mechanic and day laborer. Any
member of the B. & L., no matter how re-
duced their circumstances pecuniary, can
in few years own house and lot. The
plan on which this is worked is as follows
The stockholders gives mortgage on the
property upon which he intends to erect d
dwelling; the B. & l.. estimate the value OF
| the same and advance a certain sum of mon
ey, the owner then pays certain per cent
per week on money loaned him and thus by
small payments is enabled to own a house
| and home.
Ofcourse none secures the benefits of s,lcf
but members and they can the money
for no other purpose than that of building
Looking at it from all points, one can bu
arrive at the conclusion that Winston
would be greatly be nefitted by such an asso
citation. Who will be the first to make
move in the right direction? WINSTON.

LIVE AMERICAN EAGLE
was in town few days ago, and very nat
urally attracted large number of curious
observers, who had never looked upon his
like before. But his condition was humilia-
ting in the extreme Instead of the freedom
and independence that is supposed to char
acterize this noble bird, he rode into town
on top of a load of hay, tied by the legs
with rope. His piercing eye and daring
mein were unmistakable. His amber color
ed beak looked as if he could sever a turkey
gobler's head at one snap; he was we'll
grown; over seven feet between tips, but,
sad to tell, he was seen conserving with
buzzards, lowering about the carcass of a
dead cow, and in this vile company he was
shot and had his wings broken. He is now
the property of Mr.. A. T. Vernon, and has
| plenty of time to brood over his degradation

What are the People of Winston Going to
Do AboutIt
1t is being whispered around that few
days will develop some startling and alto
gether unexpected revelations with regard
to the attack made on MIR. Robert Crawford
Monday night, February the 2lst. We do
not speak by authority, but we have heard
it intimated that the parsonage who assail-
ed Mr.. Crawford was not a negro-that he
did not make the assault with the intent to
rob, and that he did not intend to strike
Mr.. Crawford, but another man and "there-
by hangs a tale" The best interest of the
community appeal for detection and punish
meut of this crime, in order to set an ex-
ample to all who are similarly inclined, and
to restore once more q sense of security in
our midst. The common good demands it,
!! and every individual is interested. 1t is q
matter our citizens should not neglect. 1,
il likely from indications that the employ
kIpent of y detective would solve the mystery
1 IND At no heavy expense. The offering of q
erewasd would likely bring the matter to 1
crisis as it seems to be very near the surface

The Forgotten Sound OF the Fire Alarm
Heard Once More.

The Forgotten Sound Of the Fire Alarm
Heard Once More.
Winston has so long enjoyed exemption
from the ravages of the fire fiend, that the
sound of the alarm this morning about $3.50
o'clock thoroughly startled and demoralized
the whole town. Seeing smoke pouring up
just over the Biting block, a crowd. collected
in the street just opposite, supPesing the fire
TO be there, while the occupants Of the build
ing begun TO charge around and prepare to
move out their possessions. The fire failed
to put in an appearance, however, and one
BY one the crowd discussed, supposing it to
be false alarm.
Aftsr a while the fact developed that the
scene of the fire was at Mr.. Robt. d. Nose
ley's residence, in the extreme Of North
Cherry street, which was burned completely
down while the crowd were hunting a fire
in the Biting block.
We learn there was about $500 insurance
on the house, and that part of the furniture
was saved.
We are aware that as a general thing
there is nothing very funny connected with
fire, but for a quiet observer, who is into
the joke, to stand off and see a crowd of ex-
cited men frantically ranting and vociferat-
ing over a fire that is half mile away, the
picture is an irresistlbly ludicrous one

Winston, to Mr.. James w. Steen, promis.

law firm of Kennedy & Steen, of Belle
fontaine, on the evening of February 18th.
The happy eveut occurred at the residence
of DR.. r. v. Specie, at Quincy, on the Mi

bridal party, including the officiating min
lister, Rev. B. w. Daugherty, formerly rector
of St. PauPs Episcopal Church, of this city,

He Was Alarmed.

AT late hour the other night, one of
our best citizens, being the only occupant
of the lower floor of his house, was enjoy
ing that soul-stirring novel the "Myster-
les Of Paris, and was reading about the
delightful events, that were trans
piring in the cellar, that are given
with so much zest in the 10th chapter
Which events held him with that subtitle

how to exert npon the mortal parts Of

conscious of having the breath of life

With starting eyes, erectile hair and loose
ming lips, he lifted himself with mighty
effort from his chair and stood upon his
trembling limbs-gazing-at face that
gazed only at him. No amazement or
sorrow or anger or joy was depicted there
on. But il had the sound homelike look
of the old alarm clock, that had ornamen-
ted his mantel shelf for many years. This
supernatural coincidence at dead of night
was startling to the last degree. So much
so, that without aword, without thought
for the Mysteries of Paris he grasped
the lamp and with hasty strides.
mounted in quick succession the many
steps that led to his room when he buried
himself head and ears amidst the downy
coverlids. The next morning after re-
counting his tale, to his assembled family
one of the boys remarked, II wound up

What Trne Merit WIN Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee' $
German Syrup within few years, has
astoRished the world. 1t is without doubt
the safes tand best remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and effectual cure of
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. It acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry
up Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. A
trial viii convince you of these facts. 1t
is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, IS
cents, large bottles.

PLEURO PNEUMONIA IN CATTLE


Dyer veterinary surgeons.
Considerable prejudice having arisen in
the minds of many persons in this city
against the milk from cows supposed to
be affected with pleuro-pneumonia, q
representative of the CAPITAL called upon
Drs. Martenet and Dyer, graduates of
veterinary surgery, who have been here
the past ten days and more examining
herds Of cattle in this city and vicinity.
What has been the result of your inves-
tigation, gentlemen, in regard to this
pleuro pneumonia among cattle in this
section?" we asked. This whole section
seems TO be affected more or less, replied
DIR. Martenet When case is reported
TO the State or Government Veterinary
Surgeon, doctor is sent Immediately to
examine the whole herd, and to quaran-
tine all cattle found affected, and report
the result of his examinations and investi-
cations, to the State Veterinary Surgeon,
who alone is authorized to kill-we only
examine and quarantine. How many
herds have you examined in this section.
and what has been the RESULT" the re-
porter asked. 1--WE have examined twenty
five herds in Annapolis and vicinity, and
guaranteed thirteen out of this number
which we found affected" els the milk
anu COW dllCCtGu Will piCulO-
pneumonia fit for user we asked. Yes,
perfectly so--unless the animal is in the
last stays of the disease, then it is not fit
for food; the cow is feverish, and her milk
diminishes, and / would not advise its
use-but there is not an animal that we
have quarantined whose milk is not fit
for use. Cattle often become affected
with the disease and recover-but ii often
returns in about two or three years. |
don't think there is any cause for consum.
ers of milk to become alarmed-for as soon
as the animal reaches that stage of the
disease when she is unfit for food, she is
killed; we have the disease pretty we'll
under control as far as our examinations
have gone; this whole section of the coun-
try appears to be affected, and we have
traced the disease to some cattle dealers
in Baltimore
